What does it mean to talk to each other?

Talking to each other means sharing thoughts and feelings so both people understand what’s going on.

Imagine you and your friend are playing with blocks. You want to build a tall tower, but your friend wants to build a house. If you don’t talk, you might end up building something completely different, like a block castle next to a block train! But if you talk, you can say things like “Let’s make a house together” or “Can I use some of those blocks for my tower?” This helps both of you know what the other wants.

When you talk, you use your voice to say words. Your friend hears them and uses their brain to figure out what you mean. It’s like passing a message from one person to another, first through sound, then through understanding.

Sometimes, you don’t just talk, you also listen! Listening means paying attention to what the other person says so you can respond back. That way, both of you get to share ideas and have fun together.
